What do you choose first SOUND or MUSIC?


Hi folks,

We all like music otherwise we wouldn't spend bucks to listen to it's best. I have a friend who has a very decent inexpencive high-end setup and he mostly sacrifices the music he likes to a beeter recorded albums. Another words does that make a sence to listen to the music that is only good recorded to get the best from your stereo system in sacrifice to what you realy like to listen? I love Jethro Tull and I know that most of its albums very poorly recorded. On the other side most of Frank Sinatra's albums are very well mastered but whenever I would play Sinatra is just for the sport to test my stereo.

Equipment serves the music!!!
A good system can serve better if properly used.
Choose good performance first then try to show it with better equipments, but it can't make performance than it really is.
The opposite won't work.
Why don't you buy a Steinway piano and play for yourself, insteady you spend big $$ on Hi-Fi.
The answer is very clear!
The reason is that not everybody can give good performance on a real piano(100% Hi-Fi).
Having a good Hi-Fi without good music is like to have a Steinway and you can't play.
If you can play like Horowitz, Steinway will give you a custom made grand and beg you to play.

Almost everybody chooses music first!
Don't spend big bucks to check your hearing but enjoy the music.

Good liestening to everybody!
